Cincinnati

Yes, coming June 10th -12th, we will celebrate like we have never in the past. With the defeat of Article 12, we have become known throughout the state as the bright spot in a day of great defeat. We as a community have continued to work together building on the groundwork set forth by the GLBT Coalition and Citizens to Restore Fairness. With the work of approximately 30 supportive organizations and businesses we have been able to breathe new life into a very important weekend for our Community.

‘I never had any doubt that we could pull off getting the groups to come together and work on such a major project that effects each and every one of us’, said President of the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Greater Cincinnati.

So now comes our time to Celebrate, we have a lot of exciting changes in store for you. We hope that you join us, march in the parade, and party in Hoffner Park.

The great thing about Cincinnati is that this year we will have two Pride parties, one taking place in June and the other in July. During the summer, we expect a lot of people who will be visiting our events, and on the July 23rd, the main party will be held.

This year’s theme is ‘Free to Be Me’.

America is known to be the land of democracy, where everyone is equal. People aren’t treated based on their ethnicity, religion, skin color and sexual preferences. This is one of the reason, why many people choose this content to start their lives. Even though homosexuality is regarded with concern in many states all over the world, that’s not the case with America. Here, people are free to express their preferences and be open about their partners. Over the years, many cities in the U.S. started organizing pride events, and Cincinnati is one them. The pride takes place on 23rd July every year, and this year it’s celebrating its 45th anniversary, which is a huge accomplishment. Everyone is welcome to come, and organizers have prepared a rich content for all attendants.

The pride walk

The pride walk is a traditional gathering of people who, regardless of their sexual preferences, which takes place at the 7th street and Central Avenue, following the 7th Street into the next intersection at Vine Street, passing the Fountain Square and continuing on Freedom Way. Everyone is welcome, and every year a lot of people come to support this event. There is some kind of unique atmosphere around Cincinnati pride and the only way to experience it is if you come here. People are friendly, welcoming and always in a great mood. You will see families with kids wandering around, old married couples and a lot of other people who aren’t part of the gay community. This is only one of the proofs that Cincinnati pride is an event for everyone, not just gay people.

Concerts and shows

During this event, the audience is entertained with a lot of performers, and even some celebrities come to support the audience and people attending the pride. So, it’s not a common this to hear Madonna singing at Cincinnati pride. In addition to this, people come wearing different costumes which help them express their nature and real emotions. This is probably one of the rare places where you will see the parade of spectacular costumes and great people who are wearing them. In addition to this, every year organizes promote the artist in their community, so you will have a chance to see some of the spectacular pieces these people make and of course buy them. This is one of the way how they fundraise Cincinnati pride.
